Product Description
"Hawaii: Heaven on Earth" is a coffee-table book that you'll have to chain to your coffee table! The book features articles about "things Hawaiian" and nine of the most beautiful models in Hawaii today. Former models and friends turned fashion photographer and publisher, Sri Maiava Rusden and Lisa Uyehara Dohrn, collaborated on this project. Rusden and Dohrn believe this book is a fresh approach in compiling the things that make Hawaii unique and combining the information with portraits of the "local girl." The almanac-style Hawaiiana book makes a wonderful coffee-table conversation piece, a great gift or souvenir that captures the essence of Hawaii. A portion of the proceeds goes to Dohrn's favorite charitable organization, Hawaii Centers For Independent Living. The non-profit organization is run by disabled persons to help others with disabilities become productive members of the community.

Learn about "things Hawaiian" while treating yourself to photos of Hawaiian models on every other page! ALOHA!
 A unique glimpse on the Aloha lifestyle January 3, 1999
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I travel to the Islands at least once a year and appreciate it when the locals open their hearts and offer an insightful glimpse of the life one can expect to see. In a way, this helps set expectations and guides one's unfoldment of that which makes the aloha experience so special. My only suggestion would be to offer a geographical gem to the enticing cover to complement the obvious human beauty. In truth, Hawaii is more beautiful in person than the pictures portray, which is a very welcome surprise, given how wonderful the pictures are.
Beautifully done, wonderful pictures, I want to go back. July 15, 1998

I was impressed with the quality of the photos and the useful information about Hawaii ranging from the beaches to the history of Hawaiian icons, such as the Hawaiian shirt. I was especially intrigued by a description of a traditional Hawaiian instrument. I called a friend in Hawaii and he found one for me. Anyone looking for a good descriptive book about the modern Hawaiian culture will find this book helpful. The diversity of the Hawaiian people shows in the faces of the beautiful local girls pictured in this edition.
Beautifully written with breathtaking photos! July 14, 1998

This piece is beautifully written with many photos that capture the essence of the Hawaiian Islands. The breathtaking photos really make this a wonderful keepsake for not only visitors to the islands but for the local people, as well. The interesting articles provided me with sufficient information and background that allowed me to visualize the uniqueness of Hawaii. I have enjoyed this book tremendously and recommend it to anyone that enjoys the Islands as much as I do.
